All the options we considered were expensive when it comes to having dedicated server for any system. Thus we chose IBM where we could have maximum support over a shared DNS server for various types of Clusters. All of our clusters have been supported on IBM's PS VS. IBM's backup storage is also very competitive and performance of its computation capabilities was the deal clincher.
